With a good sample, the sample mean gets closer to the population mean.

How does sample size affect the size of your standard error?

The standard error should decrease as the sample size increases. For larger samples, the standard error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.The standard error should decrease as the sample size increases.

As the sample size increases what does the expected value of M do?

You have not defined M, but I will consider it is a statistic of the sample. For an random sample, the expected value of a statistic, will be a closer approximation to the parameter value of the population as the sample size increases. In more mathematical language, the measures of dispersion (standard deviation or variance) from the calculated statistic are expected to decrease as the sample size increases.
